Baltic Dry Index: 666

Forget The Hindenburg Omen and The Hilsenrath Omen, today we have the real deal as The Baltic Dry Index hits the ominous 666 level - the lowest print for this time of year on record. Of course, just like with oil - this is brushed off as over-supply (not under-demand) and we are sure someone will opine how positive this drastic deflation of shipping rates is for global business... but still - this is the lowest print since September 2012 (and practically the lowest since the recession).

With email and online conferencing, I don't need to ship mortgage documents to my customers anymore. The world is moving past the archaic "baltic dry" index. We're too financially evolved to worry about such archaic measurement devices.

Let's just move on already and create an ETF for the baltic dry, then value could be limitless.

That fiat-printing, quote-stuffing, LIBOR-rigging, gold-manipulating, HFT-meddling evil bastard had been behind ALL of it. And I didn't even realize he worked for the U.S. government - I still thought he was free-lance. He probably joined them just to get health insurance and avoid the ObamaCare fines next year.

Forget it -the CIA and the banksters control the prices. Highly regulated. When customers die off or too many end up in their private prisons, resulting in decreased demand, they will lower prices significantly to induce more kids to get hooked. Wait until then to stock up on your dope.

Naming its ships after people didn't work out too well for the Nazis: Bismarck, Graf Spee, Tirpitz, Prinz Eugen...hope it works out better for the US. I mean, how could Jeb possibly be elected if CVN77, Geroge H.W. Bush, got sunk?

This happened during Lehman too of course. There were actually quite a few repeating numbers in the markets that occurred during pivotal market moves. Easy to write off as coincidence but maybe they are insider signals... who knows.

"In 2005, however, a fragment of papyrus 115 was revealed, containing the earliest known version of that part of the Book of Revelation discussing the Number of the Beast. It gave the number as 616, suggesting that this may have been the original."
